Robbins: He’s the only source we have! If we don’t make a deal with him, Couglin’s a dead man. So’s anyone else who gets caught on the inside.
Me: Couglin knew what he was getting into when he started.
Robbins: So you’re willing to leave a man behind?
Me: All I’m saying is, I don’t negotiate with criminals.

Me: It looks an awful lot like one I used to have that went missing.
Robbins: Can we please get back to—

Robbins: Would you mind if we did this later?
Me: I’m just saying. That’s not a cheap stapler.
Robbins: He’s the only source we have.
